"The rooms were nice. The only downside, no shelves in the bathroom or shower area to lay out your toiletries. The master bedroom didn't have a table to put the suitcases on, always digging out from the floor. Dinner, lunch and breakfast food was good. Beach area was great. You can order drinks or ..."

"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"

"Despite friendly staff and great food (as most places), this very outdated hotel is very much not recommended. Here’s why: The hotel states that it is “on the beach.” That is true only 50% of the time as the strong tides completely covers the beach at high tide. There is a very small, sand-covered ..."

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

Travelocity Verified Review
"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The food was decent. The quality itself didn’t feel amazing. I think they missed chances for excellent dining such as carving tables or omelet station. They could’ve had more selection and it was difficult to get into the restaurants. The hotel itself is newer very clean and well-maintained especially coming from Stonetown. It’s perfectly nice for a Westerner. I wish there was more entertainment. There was some nights that there was basically no entertainment and there’s not a lot of amenities for entertainment such as multiple pool tables or club, etc. The overall vibe was laid back. The beach itself was nice with plenty of options for guests and multiple pools. There were a few kids and mainly travelers from Europe and South Africa. I thought security would stop local vendors from hounding you but they didn’t. Overall I didn’t regret my stay but I might look elsewhere next time."
